Argentina Confirms 2.8% Inflation-Linked Rise for ANSES Benefits in February and Releases Payment Calendar

The increase is tied to December’s CPI under the monthly mobility rule as officials consider whether to extend the 70,000‑peso reinforcement paid in January.

Overview

  • INDEC’s December inflation reading of 2.84% sets a 2.8% update for February under Decree 274/2024, applying automatically to pensions and social assignments.
  • The minimum retirement benefit increases by about 2.8%, moving from $349,299 in January to roughly $359,000 in February, with small figure variations reported across outlets.
  • ANSES published the February schedule: PNC pay from February 9–13, minimum-haber retirees from February 9–20, and higher-haber retirees from February 23–27, all by DNI termination.
  • The 70,000‑peso bonus was paid in January to minimum and low-benefit recipients, and the government has not yet confirmed whether it will continue in February.
  • AUH, PUAM, PNC and family allowances also rise 2.8% in February, with AUH maintaining the 20% monthly retention pending required documentation.
